Hurricane Katrina crashedinto the Gulf Coast on Aug.29, 2005. The punishingwinds destroyed trees,buildings and other proper-
ty, but most of the damage-especially in New Orleans,where its levees failed-camefrom the resulting floods.The disaster caused morethan $100 billion in damageand took about 2,000 lives.
"We all remember it keen-ly: water pouring throughbroken levees; mothersholding their children abovethe waterline; peoplestranded on rooftops beg-ging for help; bodies lying inthe streets of a greatAmerican city," Obamarecalled during a speech onthe storm's fifth anniversaryin 2010. He added, "It was a
natural disaster but also amanmade catastrophe - ashameful breakdown in gov-ernment that left countlessmen, and women, and chil-dren abandoned and alone."
This year, the president isexpected to discuss hisadministration's as well asstate and local efforts torebuild in the region. And,according to Time magazine,he may likely also notepotential links betweensuper storms like Katrinaand climate change-a keyfocus area of the ObamaWhite House.

REV. JOHNNY C. SMITH,PASTOR – MOUNT MORIAH
MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH
Prior to the powerful mov-ing of the Holy Spirit, a greatcompany of believers met onone accord as they waited onthe promise of Jesus that theywould be endued by the HolySpirit (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-5).Yes, with great anticipation,these believers waited on thegreat promise of Christ asrecorded in Acts 1:5 whichreads, "For John truly baptizedwith water; but ye shall bebaptized with the Holy Spiritnot many days hence." Tendays after Jesus' marvelousascension (Acts 1:9-11), wefind the fulfillment of the HolySpirit baptizing the believers.The same company of believ-ers referred to in Acts 1:14-15experienced the powerful ful-fillment of the Holy Spiritcoming on the day ofPentecost (Acts 2:1). Thesebelievers were unified, for"they were all with one accordin one place" (v. 1).
The day on which this pow-erful manifestation of theSpirit's coming was indeed aplanned event (Leviticus23:15-21). Pentecost was atremendous event in the lifeof all Jewish people. Thisevent occurred fifty days afterthe Feast of First Fruits, whichis a type of resurrection ofChrist (St. John 12:24; ICorinthians 15:23). So, theday of Pentecost occurred fiftydays after the resurrection ofChrist. Pentecost is oftenreferred to as the "Feast ofWeeks", because it occurredseven weeks after the Feast ofFirst Fruits. Pentecost marksthe beginning of the churchage in which the Holy Spiritbaptized each believer intothe body of Christ.
According to verses 2-3, the
Holy Spirit manifested Hisawesome power and presencein an unusual way, for theseverses read, "And suddenlythere came a sound fromheaven as of a rushing mightywind, and it filled all the housewhere they were sitting. Andthere appeared unto themcloven tongues like as of fire,and it sat upon each of them."These believers both heardand witnessed to the phe-nomenal power and presenceof the Holy Spirit.
In verse 4, the believerswere filled by the Holy Spirit.The filling of the Spirit is notthe same as the baptism ofthe Holy Spirit. At the point ofsalvation, each believer isplaced into the body of Christby the baptism of the HolySpirit (I Corinthians 12:13).We are placed into Christ'sbody, the church, only once;however, we are commandedto be filled by the Holy Spiritdaily, for Ephesians 5:18 says,"And be not drunk with wine,wherein is excess; but be filledwith the Spirit." According toverse 4, no mention is madethat the believers were bap-tized by the Holy Spirit aspromised in Acts 1:5; howev-er, a reference to Acts 11:15-16 points to the fact thatthese believers were baptizedby the Holy Spirit on the dayof Pentecost.
According to verses 5-13,the Jews from various areasattending Pentecost wereamazed to hear the Galileansspeaking their languages.These Galileans were notspeaking unknown languages,but known languages thatwere understandable (Acts2:6-8). The Jews that experi-enced the phenomenon ofPentecost were from coun-tries surrounding theMediterranean Sea (Acts 2:9-11). The fact that these menwere able to speak in thedialects of the people visitingPentecost caused many towonder, for verse 12 says,"And they were all amazed,and were in doubt, saying oneto another, What meaneththis?" However, many of theunbelieving Jews were inscorn stating that, "These menare full of new wine" (v. 13).
May God Bless!
"THE POWERFUL MOVEMENT OFTHE HOLY SPIRIT"
ACTS 2:1-13
By Colleen White
Have you ever stopped tothink about what you aredoing? Do you find yourselfrushing around trying toget things done and nothaving enough time tospend with God? We alldo. It is so important for usto have some quiet timewith God. When we havequiet time with God, itallows us to connect withHim and for Him to con-nect with us. Spendingquiet time also helps torenew our strength, renewour faith, and keep us firmin what we believe.
Taking time out of yourday to spend with God alsoallows you to build yourrelationship with Him. Ifyou are married or havechildren, you do not walk
in the house and neverspeak to them, neveracknowledge that theyexist, or avoid spendingtime with them. Yet, this iswhat we do when we donot spend time with ourLord and Savior.
He desires to spend qual-ity time with you. He wantsto hear your voice callingout to Him for fellowship.Don't treat Him like astranger in your home.Welcome him into yourhome, your heart, yourdaily life with open arms.Spending time with God,on a daily basis, will help togive your life more mean-ing, more purpose, andbuild a better relationshipwith Him.
If we love our Savior, wewill want to spend timewith Him in prayer andreading of our Bible. We dothis because "His mercifulkindness is great towardus," (Psalm 117:2).Therefore, stop rushingaround and take a momentto spend with your heaven-ly Father. Pray and readyour Word today. I know Iwill. Amen?
Amen.

On August 26th our nationpauses to acknowledge theday in 1920 when the 19thAmendment to our country'sConstitution, giving womenthe right to vote, became lawin the United States. Thestruggle to secure the right tovote for women in Americabegan in in the late 1800swhen groups of womencalled "suffragists" demandedthat women should have thesame rights as men.
In 1848, large numbers ofwomen convened at the veryfirst women's rights conven-tion in Seneca Falls, NewYork. Male activists such asFrederick Douglass, the blackabolitionist, were presentand urged the women toprotest and fight for theirrights.
One of the organizationsthat emerged from theSeneca Falls Convention wasthe National AmericanWoman Suffrage Association.Under the leadership ofSusan B. Anthony, it organ-ized marches and protestdemonstrations throughoutthe country. Its leaders tooktheir cause all the way to theUnited States Supreme Courtwhich refused in 1875 to rulethat women had a constitu-tional right to vote.
In the early 1900's groupsof women joined picket linesat the White House, and evenwent to prison after theywere charged with breakingthe law by voting, althoughthey were barred from doingso. In prison some womenwent on hunger strikes andcontinued to support thenational women's groupformed after the Seneca Fallsconvention, which by thenhad formed chapters innumerous states across thecountry.
In addition to voting rights,
women also fought for equaltreatment in divorce settle-ments, disputes over proper-ty and wages. Women'sgroups continued to pressurefederal and state officials forequality. At the time, theonly female member of theCongress was RepresentativeJeanette Rankin fromMontana.
Public opinion began tosupport the efforts of womento secure equal rights. The19th amendment was intro-duced in Congress in 1918.Two years later it was ratifiedby the states. It reads, "Theright of citizens of the UnitedStates to vote shall not bedenied or abridged by theUnited States or by any stateon account of sex."
The ratification of the 19thamendment brought radicalchanges in American politics.Women became activelyengaged in elections afteryears of civil disobedience,protest marches and politicalinvolvement. Slowly, thenumber of women elected topolitical office began toclimb. This would not haveoccurred but for the passageof the 19th amendment.
I am certain that thewomen who began the fightfor equal rights more thanone hundred years ago wouldbe delighted that in today'sCongress there are 84 womenin the House, and 20 in theSenate. They would also bepleased to see that womenserve in the some of the mostimportant positions in ourfederal government and inour states, and that therehave been a number ofwomen who have run for thepresidency.
I believe that the passageof the 19th amendment hasled to great progress in ourcountry. It enabled a class ofpeople that had been exclud-ed from the voting process toexercise the right to vote, oneof the most basic and funda-mental rights that we have asAmericans.
I will continue to fight forthe rights of all women in ourcountry because many haveyet to experience the full ben-efits of the American dream.

The weather was a steamy 82degrees on August 16 around 5p.m. when men in black t-shirtsbegan gathering in Carroll Parkin South West Baltimore. Whilefamilies hung out at the park'spicnic tables, or strolled along inthe grass, the men were gettingset to walk 35 miles fromBaltimore to the White House inWashington, D.C. They werewalking, they said, to raiseawareness about BaltimoreCity's ever-growing violenceproblem.
Some of the roughly 40 men,members of the group 300 MenMarch, rested. Others stretched.A group of women in white t-shirts were also gathered. Itwould be their role to supportthe men by seeing them off,
bringing them supplies and driv-ing them back to Baltimorewhen the journey was complete.
Why were they walking? "Wehave to," said Munir Bahar, whoco-founded the group threeyears ago with Baltimore CityCouncil Member Brandon Scott."The current reality and what'shappening implies that much,much more has to be done tostop the murders. We feel thatwe have to be a symbol of phys-ical commitment."
Baltimore has had 211 homi-cides this year while the Districthas had 97.
Bahar said that the journeywas their way of are showingpeople that it's time to comefrom behind their television andcomputer screens and join themin the fight.
"We know - black men inBaltimore - too many are sittingon the couch while children are
being murdered outside. So thisis a message to get black men offthe couch, out from spendingthree hours watching the gamewhile children are out heredying."
And to skeptics who might notsee why the walk can help,Bahar said, "See how you feelwhen your child gets shot andwhat you want to do. There area lot of skeptics but those peo-ple sit on the sidelines. We areeffective."
Councilman Scott said the civilrights walks that have comebefore this would be in the fore-front of his mind. "You can't helpbut think about history - whatfolks walked for before for me tobe able to have the opportuni-ties that I have," he said. "For meto not be the best person I canbe and take steps forward andput myself out there and workas hard as I can every day…is a
direct disrespect to them."Just before the group's 6:30
p.m. departure, Bahar gatheredeveryone together for a speech.He said that the status quo was-n't good enough when it comesto saving lives in the city. He saidthe group had put together aplan that would raise $1.7 mil-lion for things like youth servicesin the most violent parts ofBaltimore.
The marchers arrived at theNational Mall at 2 p.m. Mondayafternoon. Scott said they wereable to meet with White Housestaffers to talk about 300 MenMarch and ways of reducing vio-lence. He said they used thetime to explain who they wereand why they were a necessarysolution.
When they reached their des-tination, marchers were greetedby the women who had seenthem off on Sunday.
300 Men March From Baltimore to D.C.
Women and the 19th Amendment
by D. Kevin McNeirSpecial to the NNPA from The
Washington Informer
As the 20th anniversary ofthe Million Man Marchapproaches this fall, strategiescontinue to be formulatedand plans solidified by Districtofficials, leaders from theNation of Islam, prominentblack leaders and, now, thepublishers of the black press.
On Friday, the men andwomen who own and operateover 100 black publicationsnationwide participated in anexclusive and historic conver-sation with the HonorableMinister Louis Farrakhan, whoheads the Nation of Islam andalso serves as the nationalconvener of the upcomingmarch, "Justice or Else 10-10-15."
Over 60 publishers and edi-tors joined Farrakhan,National NewspaperPublishers Association (NNPA)President and CEO Dr.
Benjamin Chavis, NNPAChairperson and WashingtonInformer Publisher DeniseRolark Barnes and RichardMuhammad, NNPA Region 3president representing theFinal Call.
When the first marchoccurred 20 years ago, theblack press was instrumentalin its success, getting out theword to blacks across the U.S.as October 1995 drew near.
Barnes said they will play asimilar role again.
"We have our marchingorders to tell the stories up tothe date of the march andafter," said Barnes followingthe conclusion of the confer-ence call. "It's up to us to keepour communities informedand to empower them tocarry on the vision thatMinister Farrakhan has laidout."
The black press, includingThe Washington Informer, willbe reporting on the march asplans continue to unfold with
ongoing dialogue fromFarrakhan, who said themarch must take placebecause of the precarious sit-uation in which blacks nowfind themselves.
"The black race is not asstrong as we could be orshould be," he said. "So, thestruggle is on two fronts. Wecannot go to Washington andappeal to the government tointercede so that black menand women receive justice inour courts but then leave ourown communities in shambleswith us killing one another.We have to take responsibilityfor our own communities andwork together to rid the fratri-cidal conflict that we see allover America."
Farrakhan served as thespark for the first Million ManMarch that brought hundredsof thousands of black men ofall ages, economic back-grounds, religious affiliationsand levels of educationtogether on the National Mall.
During Friday's conferencecall, the minister answeredquestions posed by membersof the NNPA, emphasizing theneed for black America to takecontrol of its own destinythrough shared economicstrategies and greater supportof black businesses, families,civil rights organizations andreligious institutions.
But he also criticized thepolicies of America that haveled to the mass incarcerationof black youth, failed publicschools and colleges and gen-erations of black families wal-lowing in poverty.
"The struggle cannot end onOctober 10, 2015," Farrakhansaid. "It will take on a newdimension of strength afterthe 10th. We should have alegislative agenda. We're notasking - we're demandingwhat's rightfully ours. Webuilt this country. The world isbefore us if we take our ownfoot out of the way."

BE KIND! Never speak harsh words. Bekind and gentle with your tongue. For it
has been said that the tongue can be likea sword. Think long before you criticize
your neighbor. Your tongue can be nasty.Living is one of the most beautiful things
in the world. But the tongue can kill!
O Divine Master,Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled, as to console;To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved as to love.For it is in giving that we receive;
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned;And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

Bro. Gene Turner
Genesis is the book ofbeginnings. It records thebeginning of time, life, sin,salvation, human race, andthe Nation of Hebrew.
The Genesis account isresponsible for our knowl-edge of knowing about fourmajor events which tookplace during this particulartime.
1. The creation2. The fall of man3. The flood4. The dispersion of
nations
Genesis also gives the his-tory of four great patriarchs:Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, andJoseph. It is without any
doubt that Moses is theauthor of Genesis.
Moses life extended 120years (Deut. 34:7). The first40 years (1525-1485 BC) hespent as Pharaoh's son, learn-ing the wisdom of theEgyptians (Acts 7:22). Mosesspent the next 40 years(1485-1445 BC) in the desertof Median as a Shepherd(Exodus 2:15; Acts 7:30). Thefinal 40 years (1445-1405 BC)he was wandering in Sinaiwilderness with the childrenof Israel (Deut. 8:2)
Genesis is the foundationbook to the entire Bible.Genesis includes the doc-trines of God, creation, man,sin, and salvation. Genesiscovers more time than anyother book in the Bible.
Genesis opens with thewords: "In the beginning Godcreated" (Gen. 1;1), and itends with a coffin in Egypt(Gen. 50:26). Genesis coversthe whole plight of man. Whowas created and formed inGod's image to live forever,but because of sin in manbecame destined for thegrave.
In the beginning (Heb.Bereshit) God created theheaven and earth. Moses didwhat all Hebrew writers do,and that is, he tells what Goddid, and then describes howGod did it.
The verb created is usedexclusively with God as its
subject. Created (Bara) refersto the instantaneous andmiraculous act of God bywhich He brought the uni-verse into existence. The wayGod brought the universeinto existence refutes athe-ism, pantheism, polytheism,and evolution.
In the second verse iswhere some readers get con-fused concerning this verse.Without form and VOID.Some say the word VOID heremeans that God created theuniverse perfect, but Satancame along and destroyed it.Therefore it was voided out,and God had to make the uni-verse over again. This is nottrue, because of the Hebrewword Tohu Wabohu whichmeans unformed andunfilled, or empty, and with-out life. Unformed and didnot have any life present. Godmade Satan, how couldsomeone believe that Godwould let any creaturedestroy anything that He cre-ated and made. There wasnot any chaotic condition as aresult of judgement thatcaused a GAP_THEORY overhundreds, thousands. or mil-lions of years between verseone and verse two. (Heb."YOM') 12 hour day light. Asolar day is 24 hours. 12hours of daylight, and 12hours of night equals a24hour day, not a millionyears, etc.

Orlando Scandrick's season isover before it started after theDallas cornerback tore two liga-ments in his right knee in prac-tice at training camp Tuesday.
A person with knowledge ofthe injury told The AssociatedPress that an MRI examrevealed tears to the anteriorcruciate ligament and medialcollateral ligament. The personspoke on condition of anonymi-ty because the team had notannounced the injury.
Video showed Scandrick's legbending awkwardly under rook-ie receiver Lucky Whitehead atthe end of a play in Oxnard,California. Scandrick, who wascarted off the field, had recentlyreturned to practice after sittingout with soreness in his leftknee.
"He said immediately, 'It's myACL. I know it. It's gone,'" sec-ondary coach JeromeHenderson said.
The other defensive backsformed a circle for a prayerwhen practice ended.
"I heard it in his voice," saidcornerback Morris Claiborne, atop-10 pick in 2012 who has hadinjury issues, including a tornpatellar tendon in his left kneethat limited him to four gameslast year. "After just sitting thereand looking at him and justholding his hand, squeezing. Iknow that feeling."
Whitehead said he bent downwhen he thought Scandrick wasgoing to hit him as the receivercame out of a route.
"I kind of felt it," Whiteheadsaid. "I heard him make anoise."
Scandrick became the team'sbest cornerback as BrandonCarr struggled in coverage thepast two seasons and Claiborneunderperformed when he madeit to the field. The eighth-yearplayer has 48 starts among his102 games, with a career-hightwo interceptions each of thepast two seasons.
His injury will test a positionthat has much more depth thanit did going into training camplast year. The Cowboys pickedup fourth-year player CoreyWhite on waivers from New
Orleans, and he has been solidin camp along with undraftedsecond-year player TylerPatmon.
Dallas also drafted ByronJones in the first round this year.
"It's next man up if he is out,"Henderson said of Scandrick."You hate that it happens tosuch a great player. We have tokeep moving."
Tony Romo was among sever-al Cowboys who tweeted theirsupport of Scandrick not longafter practice ended. "Sendingprayers out to OrlandoScandrick," Romo wrote. "Fearhe has a torn acl. Your (sic) thebest bud."
The Cowboys have broughtClaiborne along slowly in camp,keeping him out of both presea-son games even though hereported to California much fur-ther along than expected in hisrecovery. And Jones returned topractice Tuesday after an injuryearlier in camp to his left shoul-der, the same one that requiredsurgery when he was atConnecticut.
"Injuries are a part of football,but it's an awful feeling when ithappens to one of your guys,"Jones said. "I just hope the bestfor him. He's a veteran, beenhere a long time. He was lookingforward to the season."
All-Pro receiver Dez Bryanthad his most extensive work atpractice since injuring a ham-string Aug. 2. He missed the off-season in a contract stalematewith the Cowboys.
Tuesday's practice was thefirst of three this week beforethe Cowboys break camp aheadof their first home preseasongame against Minnesota onSaturday night. That could beBryant's only chance to get onthe field with Romo before theseason opener Sept. 13 at homeagainst the New York Giants.
"There's a heightened senseof urgency every day," coachJason Garrett said earlierTuesday. "Nothing to do withthree days."

You can "Ask Dr. KarenHollie" about just anything.She is a global icon, a scholar,pastor, author, columnist,teacher, just to name a few.Additionally, she has enter-tained kings, princesses, arch-bishops, interracially andinterfaith clergy domesticallyand internationally. Amongher many pioneering endeav-ors is being the founder ofthe only women's seminary inthe Southwest offeringBachelors, Masters andDoctoral Degrees. Dr. Hollie'spioneering spirit is by design,not by accident. It is a delib-erate, devout manifesto fromher "Professor Mom", HelenJackson, a mother with aboutsix(6) PHD's in her immediate
family. I have written aboutthis educational dynasty sev-eral times.
Grace InternationalSeminary is based in Dallas,Texas, and the graduationservices are Sunday, August30, 2015, 1:00PM. Come seefor yourself.
Women have always beenamazing trendsetters. Let meshare a very interesting time-line with you. If you "Ask-Dr.Hollie" she could possiblystart with the year 1873,when Ellen Richards becamethe first women to receive aB. S. Degree from MIT; or,1875 when Smith College andWellesley College opened,both renown schools forwomen. In 1881, the AtlantaBaptist Female Seminary(later Spelmen College)opened, which as you know isa college for African Americanfemales. In 1885, theRomano School for IndianGirls opened in Santa Fe.Bryn Mawr opened in 1889and in 1897, the NationalCongress of Mothers formed(now PTA). The turn of thecentury ignited new innova-tors. Helen Keller became thefirst blind-deaf person tograduate from college and
Mary McLeod Bethuneopened Daytona School forNegro Girls. In 1945, the firstclass of women is admitted toHarvard Medical School. The50's is known for the Brownvs. Board of Education asmuch as the 60's confirmsAffirmative Action becominglaw in the United States.
Undisputedly, he 70'sbelongs to Motown andsweet soul music.
Aw, but the 80's is still writ-ing the history of womenmaking up 51% of college stu-dents. What about the 90'syou say? A lot about thisdecade, however, keep inmind that in 1996, theVirginia Military Institute wasforced by the Supreme Courtto admit women.
Grace InternationalSeminary graduation servicesare appropriately held at theRosa Parks ElementarySchool, Lancaster ISD, 630Millbrook, 75146.

My Day: Ask Dr. Hollie
By Freddie AllenNNPA Senior Washington
Correspondent
NNPA) - On Tuesday[Aug.25], the ThurgoodMarshall College Fund(TMCF) opened the applica-tion process for the AppleHBCU Scholars program tohelp the most valuable com-pany in the world identify thenext generation of high-per-forming leaders of color intechnology.
The program, which targetsstudents attending historical-ly, Black colleges and univer-sities (HBCUs), includes ascholarship for up to $25,000during the recipient's senioryear, a summer internship atApple headquarters inCupertino, Calif., career-development opportunities,and the chance to serve as aTMCF DiversityInitiative/Apple brandambassador.
Students will also earn theopportunity to participate inthe Apple HBCU immersionexperience in Cupertino,Calif., during the spring of2016 and access to an Appleemployee for a unique men-toring experience.
In the press release aboutthe launch of the program,
Denise Young Smith, the vicepresident of WorldwideHuman Resources at AppleInc., and a graduate ofGrambling State University inLouisiana, said that the pro-gram is about exposing giftedstudents from HBCUs tocareers in technology.
The tech industry hasrecently come underincreased scrutiny for its lackof diversity by civil rightsleader Jesse Jackson and oth-ers after companies likeGoogle, Apple and HP pub-lished data on the ethnic andgender diversity of theirworkforces.
"We're big believers thatinnovation will be strongestwhen talented people fromdiverse backgrounds are partof the creative process," saidSmith. "That's why we're soproud to be partnering withTMCF to help us find the nextgeneration of innovators."
The Apple Scholars pro-gram is just one element ofthe $40 million partnershipbetween TMCF and Appleannounced earlier this yearthat will include the develop-ment of a talent database forhiring managers, researchgrants for faculty membersand investments in entrepre-neurship programs.
"The call out to our com-
munity is that when anorganization as big and aswell-known as Apple says,'I'm going to invest in you,'they have actually lobbed theball into our court and, if wemiss it, we're going to behard-pressed to argue thatHBCUs are relevant and wor-thy of future investments,"said said Johnny C. Taylor, Jr.,the president and CEO ofTMCF.
Taylor added that the part-nership will also involve seri-ous discussions about how tomake HBCUs sustainable inthe future.
"[Apple] is absolutely con-vinced that if they want tosolve their diversity chal-lenge, they have to expandthe schools that are produc-ing the pipeline," said Taylor."Majority schools are notenough because everyone'sfighting for that same smallpot of Black students."
Taylor said that the stakesare high for HBCUs and Appleto prove targeted invest-ments like this can reap long-term rewards for industriespushing to diversify theirranks. Taylor added that itmay be the last chance forBlack colleges to make thecase that they are not justhistorically relevant, but thatthey're also currently rele-vant, as well.
"This is Apple, one of thesexiest, most ubiquitous com-panies on the globe, so alleyes are watching and it's justnot limited to the technologyspace," said Taylor. "I havemeetings now with othercompanies in other sectorsthat say, 'I am dying to hearhow the Apple [investment]works out."
The application processopens on August 25, 2015and closes September 18,2015. Parents, students andfaculty can learn more aboutthe Apple HBCU ScholarsProgram athttp://tmcf.org/our-scholar-ships.
